In this Hotline episode, Phyllis answers a listener question about how teachers (and others who work in schools) can better support neurodivergent children.  Drawing from her own experiences with various educational environments for her daughter, Phyllis emphasizes: The importance of recognizing and accommodating individual needs in the classroom Understanding that all behavior is communication Why sensory breaks should never have to be "earned" and why withholding recess is counterproductive The need for regular communication between teachers and parents  Always presuming competence in neurodivergent students
